Why We Do What We Do
As search engines evolve at breakneck speed—with Google AI Mode appearing in 16% of searches, AI-powered platforms like Perplexity gaining massive user adoption, and ChatGPT transforming how people discover information—one thing has become crystal clear: traditional SEO approaches are no longer sufficient for eCommerce success.
At Altezza, we’ve built our SEO technology platform around a fundamental belief: in an increasingly complex and AI-driven search landscape, the only way to achieve sustainable search visibility is through intelligent technology that scales human expertise, not replaces it.
Our Core Belief: Technology Must Scale Search Visibility
After years of working with eCommerce brands struggling to maintain search performance across thousands of products and pages, we’ve seen the same pattern repeatedly: manual SEO simply doesn’t scale. When you’re managing product catalogs that change daily, content that needs constant optimization, and technical SEO elements across multiple platforms, human-only approaches become bottlenecks to growth.
This is why we believe in SEO technology platforms that automate what’s possible, while facilitating human expertise where it matters most. Our eCommerce SEO automation approach addresses this challenge head-on by:
- Automatically generating and maintaining sitemaps as inventory changes.
- Managing all on-page SEO elements, at scale, without manual intervention.
- Creating intelligent internal linking that builds topical authority.
- Integrating seamlessly with Salesforce Commerce Cloud and other platforms via APIs.
- Maintaining technical foundations while teams focus on strategy.
The reality is that eCommerce businesses need automated SEO tools that can handle the volume and complexity of modern digital commerce, while ensuring every optimization follows best practices.
Smart Automation + Human Intelligence: The Altezza Philosophy
We don’t believe in replacing human expertise—we believe in amplifying it. Our SEO CMS platform is built around a clear principle: what can be automated should be automated, and what requires human insight should be facilitated and enhanced by technology.
Here’s how we approach this balance:
What We Automate:
- Technical SEO elements (meta tags, structured data, canonical tags)
- Sitemap generation and maintenance
- Internal linking based on semantic relationships
- Performance monitoring and basic optimizations
- Integration workflows between platforms
What We Facilitate for Human Teams:
- Content strategy and brand voice decisions
- Long-form content creation and optimization
- Complex technical troubleshooting
- Strategic SEO planning and goal setting
- Creative campaign development
Our platform provides the technological foundation that allows internal teams or external SEO agencies to accomplish quality work faster, covering for the significant lack of built-in SEO tools available in most eCommerce platforms.
AI Content Creation: Scaling Quality with Human Oversight
The rise of AI search optimization demands content that can perform across traditional search engines and AI-powered platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s AI Mode. We believe AI is not just useful but necessary to scale content development in today’s competitive landscape.
However, our approach prioritizes quality over quantity:
- Human-guided AI for long-form content: Complex content like buying guides, category descriptions, and educational resources benefit from human strategy and AI execution.
- Human-reviewed AI for operational content: Product descriptions, meta content, and structured data can be AI-generated but must pass human quality gates.
- Workflow-driven approvals: Every piece of content goes through brand voice validation and accuracy checks before publication.
This approach allows our clients to produce the volume of optimized content needed for eCommerce search visibility while maintaining the quality and brand consistency that builds customer trust.
The New Search Paradigm: From Search to Discovery
We’re witnessing a fundamental shift in how people interact with search engines. AI search platforms are transforming the entire discovery process:
- Users increasingly expect direct answers rather than lists of links
- AI systems curate and synthesize information from multiple sources
- Traditional click-through metrics are becoming less meaningful
- Search is becoming more conversational and context-aware
This transformation requires recalibrating success metrics and optimizing for visibility across multiple platforms simultaneously. Our AI-powered SEO platform tracks performance across traditional search engines and emerging AI platforms, helping clients understand and adapt to
these changing user behaviors.
The goal is no longer just ranking #1 for specific keywords—it’s being discoverable and authoritative across the entire spectrum of how people find information and make purchasing decisions.
Core SEO Fundamentals: More Important Than Ever
While the search landscape evolves rapidly, we firmly believe that core SEO disciplines are more important than ever. As AI systems become more sophisticated, they actually place greater emphasis on fundamental quality signals:
Technical Foundations:
- Indexation: Ensuring all important pages can be discovered and indexed
- Site speed: AI crawlers are even more sensitive to performance issues
- Mobile responsiveness: Critical for both user experience and crawlability
- Clean code structure: Essential for AI systems to understand content
Content Structure:
- H1, H2, and H3 markup: Provides clear content hierarchy for AI understanding
- Internal linking: Builds topical authority and helps AI systems understand relationships
- Enriched footer content: Improves site architecture and navigation signals
- Quality content: Authentic, valuable information that serves user intent
Our platform automates these fundamentals, while providing tools for teams to build upon this strong foundation with strategic, creative work.
Solving the eCommerce Platform Gap
Most eCommerce platforms—whether Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, or others—provide basic functionality but lack the sophisticated SEO tools needed for competitive success. This creates a significant gap that forces businesses to either:
- Accept limited SEO capabilities
- Invest heavily in custom development
- Use multiple disconnected tools
- Hire extensive technical teams
Our SEO technology platform bridges this gap by providing enterprise-level SEO capabilities through API integrations that work with any eCommerce platform or headless CMS architecture. This approach allows businesses to maintain their preferred commerce platform while gaining access to advanced search engine optimization technology.
Our Commitment: Navigating the Future of Search
The search landscape will continue evolving rapidly, and we’re committed to helping our clients stay ahead of these changes. This requires:
Continuous Experimentation: Testing new optimization techniques, monitoring algorithm changes, and adapting strategies based on performance data.
Scalable Technology: Building platform capabilities that can grow with client needs and accommodate new search technologies as they emerge.
Human-Technology Integration: Ensuring our automation enhances rather than replaces human expertise, creating workflows that leverage the strengths of both.
Metrics Evolution: Developing new ways to measure success as traditional SEO KPIs become less relevant in an AI-driven search environment.
Platform Flexibility: Maintaining the ability to add custom functionality and integrate with new technologies as client needs evolve.
